GERMANY’S World Cup flops landed back in Munich after a dismal campaign in Qatar.
Hansi Flick’s side were knocked out at the group stages for a second consecutive tournament.
Their 4-2 win over Costa Rica on Thursday wasn’t enough to make it to the last 16 after Japan’s highly controversial win over Spain.
And the Germans were quick to head home after their nightmare campaign.
They landed back in Munich on Friday looking glum following their group stage exit.
Captain Manuel Neuer donned a red beanie after arriving back in the cold from the Qatar desert.
Thomas Muller was also seen wheeling his suitcase after landing back at arrivals earlier than anticipated.
The 33-year-old may have played in his last World Cup, having hinted at retirement after the early exit.
Muller said: “If that was my last game for Germany, a few words to the German fans: It was a tremendous pleasure.
“Thank you very much. I always tried to show heart on the pitch. Sometimes there were tears of joy, sometimes pain.

“I did it with love. I need to think about everything else now.”
The same can possibly be said for Neuer, who will be 40 by the time of the next tournament.
Meanwhile, Joshua Kimmich looked glum as he spoke on his mobile phone.
Teenage sensation Jamal Musiala also appeared downcast on his return, despite the 19-year-old being a bright spark in a dismal campaign for the Germans.
Some excited fans gathered to snap shots of the team arriving back, including ex-Chelsea man Antonio Rudiger, but it was far from a hero’s welcome at Munich arrivals.
